Why Naby Keita, Curtis Jones, Joe Gomez and Roberto Firmino Are Missing From Liverpool’s Squad To Face Porto

It remains to be seen whether either player will return to the squad for Saturday's Premier League match at home to Southampton.

Curtis Jones is still missing with an eye injury and the club are not putting a timeframe on when he will return due to the complex nature of the issue.

Roberto Firmino picked up a hamstring problem during the clash with Atletico Madrid at Anfield and with Klopp describing the injury as 'bad' he may still be some time off returning.

Harvey Elliott is continuing with his rehab after dislocating his ankle in September at Elland Road. Again, he is likely to be weeks away from a return.
